The city of Iowa City is attempting to block a resident from joining the lawsuit over a proposed downtown highrise, arguing that Gary Sanders' petition brings nothing new to the Iowa Coalition Against the Shadow's original suit.

Sanders and his lawyer, Wally Taylor, however, say the move amounts to the city trying to quash the voice of a citizen opposing the Chauncey, which if built to current plans would become Iowa City's tallest building.
